Re: Line break interpretation

fpondemer, Welcome to the Monastery! Make yourself at home.

change

my $Message = 'Hello\nWorld';

into

my $Message = "Hello\nWorld";

and check now. Only double quotes ll interpolate not single quote which you have given as input. Also take a look at perldata

update: Oops! sorry, misunderstood the question. davorg++ thanks.

You're misunderstanding the question. The string is being read from a file. Try working with this: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $message = <DATA>; # ... some code goes here print $message; __END__ Hello\nWorld` [download] Putting the string in single quotes simulates the action of reading the data from a file. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply] [d/l]
